</UL>
(It is also possible to install multiple versions of Data Explorer for different
architectures. See <A HREF="insgu029.htm#HDRCFGSCR">Chapter 13. "The Configure
Script"</A>)
<P>
If you want to use a floating, or concurrent, license of Data Explorer, and you
are not currently running a NetLS license server somewhere in your
network, then you also need to read <A HREF="insgu032.htm#HDRNETLS">Chapter 15.

<P>
To check that the installation has completed successfully, type the following:
<PRE>
cd /usr/local/dx/samples/programs
dx  -execute MappedIso.net
</PRE>
An Image window will then open and an image of a colored cloud will appear.
